Santosh Adarsh Senior Secondary School

Santosh Adarsh Senior Secondary School is actually located inside the Boulevard Mall on Nashik Road. It's on the ground floor, specifically shop numbers 28 and 29. It’s a bit of an unusual spot for a school, being in a mall area in Thane West, but it works out for the families living nearby. Since we are in the mall, the surroundings are different than a standalone building. There isn't a big outdoor field right at the door, but we make use of the space we have inside. The rooms are partitioned off and we try to keep the noise from the mall corridors out as much as possible. It’s convenient for parents who are doing their shopping or errands in Thane. The entrance is right there past the main mall doors, near the other shops. We have our desks and chairs set up in a way that maximizes the square footage we have available. It gets a bit crowded during the transition times when classes are switching, but we’ve managed to find a rhythm. It’s a very urban setup for a school. People often ask how a school works in a shopping center, but we just treat it like any other school once the doors are closed. We focus on the senior secondary levels mostly. It’s just a practical, local choice for education in this part of Thane for people who need something accessible.
